this error comes on every ea demo that I want to test.

this error comes on every ea demo that I want to test.
You can delete those demo EAs and install them once again from MQL5 Market. But please note that demo Eas are working in strategy tester only.

Same with the EAs which you bought from the Market: delete them from Metatrader and after that - install once again by using same Metatrader.
 
Yep I know it only works on strategy tester only, I did uninstall and install them again, I also did this second account to try again, same thing...

As I see - you are using beta build 5055 of MT5.
It is better to download MT5 from the broker's (your broker') website - because the brokers are proposing the stable builds only (if I am not mistaken - the latest stable build is 4755).

---------------

By the way, I backtested demo version of one EA (from the Market) - and MT5 does not ask me for any license ... because demo EAs are not having any license at all -

I checked once again: the demo EA from the Market are not required the license (and they work in strategy tester only) ... it is written:

Tester - "Market\[name of the EA].ex5 64 bit demo version
 
that's what I got, but how to download stable version BlackBull offer same build

how to download stable version BlackBull offer same build
is it broker?
download from their website stable build (and do not connect to MetaQuotes-Demo).
if some issue with downloading - ask them in support.
 
same think, from everywhere I download, I get the same build, 5055

The brokers should provide the latest stable build (in case you did not connect to MetaQuotes-Demo server).
The latest stable build which I have installed - build 4755.
So, ask your broker for support.

---------------------

As to next stable build so it was the discussion on Russian forum that the next stable build will be on Friday - 

The question - 

The reply -
